Chameleon Youth Hostel Alicante (Alicante, Spain)

The staff is kind and welcoming, and they are happy to provide for any special needs or requests you might have during your stay.

The hotel is conveniently located near several nearby bars, clubs, and restaurants. The staff does a great job keeping the house clean as well. And the facilities and beds are comfortable, considering it's a hostel - making for a great combination of quality and price.

A simple breakfast of toast, jams, and coffee is provided free of charge. Many guests have praised the coffee as one of the best they've ever had at a hostel.

The walls do very little to keep noise at bay. So if your neighbours are loud, you'll be able to hear everything. Bring along some earplugs, and you should be able to sleep in the middle of all the noise.

Be careful to plan your arrival time (and any cooking you might need to do). But you won't be able to check in or use the kitchen after 11 p.m., until the next morning when the staff reopens the reception and kitchen.

Though air conditioning is available, it's only offered at a cost. If it's hot, and you don't have the budget for the AC, you may have trouble getting comfortable. Which is why you will want to adjust your budget accordingly if you expect to need it cool, should you plan to stay here.
